A. Hi, Jenny, Kindle Touch ($139 without ads) or Nook Simpletouch ($99 without ads) are e-Ink devices for reading and not video/web/apps while Kindle Fire or Nook Color or Nook Tablet are LCD screen devices for video/web/apps but not too much for reading.
Ads-supported Kindle models show full page ads to you (and everyone around you) every time they go to sleep mode and also show 2 line ads right there at your home screen - so annoying that Amazon even released a software that for $30 can convert ad-supported Kindle into non-ad-supported one. Non-touch screen Kindle models are such basic stone age devices (with page turn lag, buttons, and black blinks/flashes on each page turn) that I would not even speak about them. Nook (unlike Kindle) supports eBooks in ePub format that is the universal format most used in the world. Current e-Ink Nook Simpletouch has the latest generation touch screen display, no page turn lag, it weights less, its battery lasts twice as long (two months on one charge), it has microSD slot and it doesn't blink on each page turn - much better than current Kindle 3 or Kindle Keyboard. Nook Touch is still better designed than even the new Kindle Touch with battery lasting two months with ONE hour reading a day with Wi-Fi off thus it's still twice as long as new Kindle's two months with HALF and hour a day with Wi-Fi off. It looks like Kindle didn't get any battery improvement in the new model, they only changed the test condition. More, Kindle Touch still flashes black on each page turn while Nook Touch reduces the flashing by 80%. Nook Touch and Nook Color (unlike Kindle) have microSD card slot to take a card (class 6 or above) up to 32 GB.
Nook Tablet is $224 if sign up for Barnes & Noble membership or $250 without signup. Nook Tablet is clearly the superior device over Kindle Fire. Not just 11.5 hours battery life but 9 hours of video playback time - that's vs. 8 hours for reading and 7.5 hours of video playback on Kindle Fire (even that 7.5 hours will not hold true in tests, video playback drains battery much more than reading)
1.0 GB RAM Vs. 512 MB RAM of Kindle Fire, 16 GB content capacity plus 32 GB via microSD card vs. 8 GB capacity of Kindle Fire with no expansion slot. Fully laminated HD screen for reduced glare vs. no lamination of Kindle Fire. Bulit-in and optimized Netflix and Hulu plus with millions of movies/shows vs. 100K movies/shows of Amazon store. Nook Tablet has built-in mic for Skype voice conferencing and dictations to speech recognition software. Nook already has Cloud as all eBooks in your online library are stored there as well as downloaded to your device.
Also, If you walk in with the Nook to Barnes & Noble store, youâre allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi and you get free technical support in case of issues in any of the store.
You can buy Nookâs at Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Millon, Walmart, BestBuy, Staples, OfficeMax, Fred Mayer, P.C. Richard, Radio Shack, Target, Fry's, etc. stores and web sites.
Kindle fire keyboard?
Q. I have the first kindle fire and I was wondering if it can have a keyboard? Like there's wifi so shouldn't I be able to buy a wifi keyboard for it?
A. The kindle fire already has a keyboard. I also have the first one.
When you go to the internet there should be an openeing screen, usually gray, and it has a search box, tap it, and a keyborad should open up, and you can begin typing.
But if you really want a keyboard...

They also have blue tooth keyboards, which you may be able to use wiht a kindle fire.

Should I get the Kindle Keyboard or regular Kindle for my Father?
Q. So Christmas is coming up and my father just loves reading. I MEAN LOVES! He works all day (as a construction worker for a cable compant. digging holes, raising poles, ect) and when he comes home in the evening he just likes to escape into a good book. So this year for christmas, i thought i would make it the best christmas. :) i want to get him a kindle! It will be easier for him to buy a book (rather than going to a bookstore. saving time ya know?) with the amazon kindle store, and instead of having that big old packed out book shelf he could have all his books onto one device! I will even throw in a nice case :)! So I got with my 20 year old bro (im 14) and we agreed we would go half and half on paying for this kindle. The problem is we can't decide on the right kindle. We narrowed it down to the Kindle (basic 70 dollar one) or the Kindle Keyboard!!! One problem stopping us from the regular kindle is that it looks cheap... I'm serious it looks like one of those toys you get from the walmart section. But that's not the main problem. Another problem is that the kindle keyboard has a higher reputation and the regular kindle has less memory. 1,000 books sounds like enough but the Kindle keyboard looks better plus it has keys. With my father, I do not know if he would use the keys. I would be guessing the way they sort the books out you could search for a certain title. PLus take notes and such. Which is faster? which one would i get the bang for the buck?
A. Review on Kindle keyboard 3g, should help you out on this Decision:

The Basic Kindle is best for an entry level in eBook readers. While Kindle Keyboard 3g is the best model in Kindle Family which has free 3g web browsing and Facebook and twitter integration. You can use internet everywhere without paying any fee for it.
So it basically depends on you on which one you wanna give him.
If he is out of reach of Wifi almost everytime then I would recommend you to give him the 3g version of Kindle.. Which Kindle keyboard does offers.
The Keyboard on the other hand is for the purpose of typing.
